A spokesperson for St Walburge’s said: “Join us for a very special Stations of the Cross in words and music accompanied by Octavius, a choir of dedicated and skilled singers based in Lancashire, to pray or simply to enjoy the music. It will be a great pleasure to welcome Octavius to St Walburge’s Church again following their moving performances in previous years.
“The Stations of the Cross is a traditional Lenten devotion, which recalls the events of the first Good Friday, when Jesus was crucified, died and was buried. People stop to pray before 14 images, or stations, around the church depicting when Jesus was condemned to death up to his burial in the tomb.”
